Local groups donate funds for Puerto Rico aid

IUPAT DC35 and the Painters and Glaziers Employers Association of New England recently contributed $2,500 to the Boston Fund for Hurricane Relief for Puerto Rico.

State Rep. Jeff Sanchez stopped by the Painters and Allied Trades DC35 Union Hall in Roslindale to accept the donation.

“Thank you to DC 35 for your continued support and love for the people of Puerto Rico, and for all you do to create opportunities here in Massachusetts,” said Sanchez. “We will continue to make a difference from one commonwealth to another.”

“This donation will help the Puerto Rican relief effort as many people on the island are still without power and critical infrastructure,” said Jeff Sullivan, business manager of IUPAT DC35. “We are proud to support the Boston Fund for hurricane relief for Puerto Rico. We hope to see other local organizations follow in suit.”
